Thanks for the service and an Tip for WordPress users

I'm finding x10hosting very realiable and fast. I can even believe that SMTP is available just for eveyone, for free! This is a cool feature and I want warning WordPress users: please don't let your site suffer from spamming ever! The spambots can make your site run out of traffic and this will lead you to loose your account, not only here, but every free plan around. The worst thing also: most services won't let you use SMTP for free anymore (i.e. my current service ). Fight spam and everything will be fine for us, I recommend to use WordPress plugins like SMTP config so you can set an external server for handle your emails (gmal) and Captchas, so spammer won't flood your site (them your SMTP usage). Maybe I'm talking nonsense, but that happen to a great free service I use since 2005, I'm planing to migrate to x10hosting, but a bit afraid of future of this service. NOTE: in WordPress everytime you receive a comment, the server will send an email notifiying about it. So, if your site suffer from spambot attacks, the SMTP server will get too much callings, and most service (paid or not) won't like that, thus blocking SMTP resource.

Note to WordPress users: get all over this support thread asking for a comment digest option and keep hammering at it. A handful of digest mails would serve the same purpose as the current notification system while greatly reducing the potential for mail servers to identify your site/domain as a spamhaus. Even in the world of customer service, timeliness in replying to comments and contact emails does not mean it has to happen in telephone or instant messaging time scales, and getting an update digest hourly, daily, or even a few times a day is more than adequate -- even if the comments require moderation before becoming visible.
